A good holiday can do wonders to your excessively stressed body and mind (after those hundreds of tiresome hours at your office). It also gives you a chance to spend some quality time with your family (and friends). Though your first choice of traveling would be through the public transit, luxury cruise ships or trains, or a chauffeur driven car – there is more to that! When you are with your family, it is a good idea to hire a camper van – a medium sized van packed with practically everything you would need on a holiday, along with ample storage space for your own luggage.

Such vans save you from the hassles involved in finding a good hotel; it also saves you the big bucks. Once you know some basics of electric work, plumbing and lighting, you can maintain this vehicle perfectly. Do a thorough check of the camper van before hiring it.

A good vacation is like a cake – any mistakes in collecting the ingredients and formulation will give rise to a mess. Similarly, improper planning of a vacation can spoil your budget and your mood. You need to make a thorough study of the places you intend to visit, make prior hotel bookings (if required) and most importantly, select the mode of transport. Once at the tourist destination, you need to hire a good taxi service to transfer you from the airport to your hotel, and browse through the various tourist spots. If at all the taxi service driver has done a good job, it is only fair if you offer him a fancy tip.

Do not simply go on distributing your big bucks blindly. Also, do not offer measly tips. A good amount of tip ranges between ten to fifteen percent of the taxi fare, but nothing less than ten.

Travelling is quite an interesting hobby. Not only can you get a well rewarded escape from the boring urban routine, but you can also head off to new destinations, learn about different people and cultures. Conventional tourists often prefer the regular modes of transport, like public transit, cruise ships or trains, chauffeur driven cars and so on. This is quite okay, especially when you are opting for a new destination. However, it is still quite thrilling if you rent a car and drive it yourself, especially if you are migrating between two heavenly destinations – like Italy and Greece.

Look for a good ferry service provider. You can even opt for the Camping on Board facility to save some extra bucks. The journey can go as long as for a complete day, hence it is advised to make good plans. Carry your own food or opt for the multiple cuisine options on board.
